Yeah, his version of her does go overboard. And on (re-)reading all of Shampoo's Revenge, I realize that it's the earlier chapters, where it's focusing on Shampoo's clever plan and the unexpected fallout thereof, that I'm remember best. It reads like an original flavor fic -- then it makes a left turn into serious alt-uni territory for no partcular good reason. It's not bad, but it's not good either, and it's not what attracted me to it in the beginning.
As for his SI stuff, well, he has a page over on Ficwad.com where he seems to be continuing Bubblegum Boy...
(ETA
The main problem with his portrayal of Akane -- as well as that of Metroanime, and maybe a couple other writers -- is that it's all rooted in a childish reaction to a mid-1990s grudge match between fiancee factions that all but died out years ago. But Skysaber can't bury the hatchet -- his primary fault as a writer is he can't admit he's wrong or that anything needs changing if someone else tells him about it, and I suppose there's been far too much bad blood on the Akane thing for the contrarian in him to ever allow it to fade away. At this late stage, changing how he portrays Akane in any way would be tantamount to admitting the so-called "Knights of the True Fiancee" were right. And he won't do that.
